im sorry to tell you that, but your keys are gone and valve/steamrep are gonna do nothing because there was a key involved
yeah sorry dude they can't do much. honestly if someone refuses to use a middleman you probably shouldn't trust them on a large trade.
I went through the same shit a few days ago. I was trading for CoD Ghost key. the guy had the game in his account and he told me he had another key. but in fact, it was his own key. he told me to go first and he pasted half the key to show his willingness to go through with the trade. as soon as i gave him the item, he deleted me and went offline. Here's the scammer: http://www.steamtrades.com/user/xIDiNicola
I really think there should be a stick thread in the forum with a list of these scammers so other traders will be aware and careful if/when dealing with them.

Well i have got the best prove, a video: (If you need something more, just tell me)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDpg2tDGvAU
Description:
This person added me to sell a key of Battlefield 4, i know the risk so i asked him to use a middleman, he refused, so i asked him to use Team Viewer (Program that allow a person to controll your computer) so he can redeem the code, and then finish the trade, as you can see in the video, i agreed and then, after i accepted he disconnect the call of Team Viewer, and also deleted me form steam.
As i can see this guy, put the same image as other guy, thats why he got all that rep on steamtrades!
